4TO ALL lWHO-M ITVMAY GONCERN:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM S. McNEimoi Springfield, Hampden county,Commonwealth of Massachusetts, have invented a new and' useful ImprovedTinners Hammer; and I do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full andexact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

Figure 1 is a side view of my hammer,

FigureZ a section view of a part, and

Figures 3 and 4 detail views of the parts.

This invention-consists in arranging a combination of hammer and malletfor tinners use, so that the mallet maybe removed, when not used, andreadily replaced when desired.

In construction, I form my device of a cylindrical piece, A, into whichthe handle, K, is placed, having e. hammer-head, O, on one side, and asocket, a, upon the other. Into this socket the mallet, B, fits, itbeing formed with a tenon, b, and shoulder, so as to make a rm and neatjoint. Y

This mallet may be fastened in with a screw, or other convenient means,if necessary. f

Upon the face of the hammer-head C, in front, is formed a pene, c, forvarious purposes required in tin-work.

This hammer is peculiarly useful in the roofing of houses, where it isinconvenient to carry two separate tools, such being necessary in theoperations.

In Figure 5 is shown a diagram of another method of arranging theseparts.

In this, thehandle K isset into a wooden mallet-head, L, thehammer-head, m, of metal, being screwed into the head L, as shown by thedotted line. This is for the purpose of rendering the combination-toollighter than is obtained by the former` method. Y

By arranging the pene e upon the hammer-head C, instead of the oppositeend, now occupied by the mallet, I am able -to use the pene-withoutturning the hammer, as isA necessary with hammers as commonly` arranged.f

New, having described my' invention, what I claimras new, anddesire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

1. A hammer and mollet combined, in which the mallet B fits in a.socket, a, constructed in the piece A, having the head C with pene c,the parts being combined and arranged substantially as herein shown. i

2. The arrangement of the pene c upon the head, C, ot' the hammer,substantially as shown` WM. S. MeNEIL.
